It wasn't supposed to get this cold, but it got down to about -12 last night with a steady 20 mph breeze. Even Buster (my big black dog) didn't dilly-dally like he normally does when he woke me up at 4AM. My condolences to all the folks there in Alabama after the horrific storms. Depending on which...

Lest We Forget
I'm a big fan of Live PD and haven't missed an episode since it started. I found this over on the #LivePD Twitter feed. Sometimes we forget or take for granted the simple things in our lives. My Father often told me when I was complaining about something stupid, " I once cried because I had no... Sign in to see full entry.
The temps have fallen dramatically in the past hour. We have gone from a high of +9 to -1 at about 7PM tonight. Low of -8 expected. All of us are in and warming in the basement to escape the howling winds off Momma Superior. I'm ready to shut everything down and call it a night as far as the... Sign in to see full entry.
We are heading into another week of cold weather. It won't be the bone fracturing stuff we had a few weeks back, but we will be below Zero again several times this week. Yippie! Life goes on. I'm kind of at a loss for words today. Not sure why, so I won't keep blathering here. I'll think a bit and... Sign in to see full entry.

I just got the fastest turn around on a paperback book by "The Big A" that I've ever had. I sent in the revised version of 'Say Hello to Dave!' late yesterday afternoon, and it was approved and was posted on Amazon this late morning. The ebook format was approved about three hours after I sent it... Sign in to see full entry.
What I have planned for the day and what the day will bring are probably two different things... otherwise known as SSDD... Same Stuff, Different Day. I am slowly beginning the 'decomission' of my nearly trusty nine year old desktop computer, and in the process of that task, I copied and removed... Sign in to see full entry.

My re-write and editing of 'Say Hello to Dave' is complete. All told, I had a new section that was a bit over 3200 words long and the edits included adding roughly 700 words. I have a habit of saying, thus writing, 'Could I get a couple pieces of wood?' instead of 'Could I get a couple of pieces of... Sign in to see full entry.

I finished the rewrite and edit of "Say Hello to Dave." I ended up adding at total of about 3700 words, 3000 of which were in an added chapter a pair of murders that I had somehow attributed to another man I worked with in the prison. the new section will be posted very shortly, perhaps by Sunday or...

With the last day of February upon us, the warming temps of Spring can't be that far away... or so I tell myself. I like taking winter shots, but this winter getting out into the weather has meant wearing at least twenty pounds or more of protective clothing. That gets old. The extended ten day...

Goodbye Evelyn.
I made it home about 10 PM last night. Save for some very slippery roads in the Gaylord Michigan area on my way south, the trip was uneventful. I spent about four hours talking with my friend about things that happened long ago and what lay ahead. I didn't push the conversation, I just went where... Sign in to see full entry.
